Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for vehicle signal devices, and in particular relates to a protective device for distance measurement of a large transport vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Large transport vehicles need to measure the vehicle behavior and obstacles in various obstacles such as bends, bridge tunnels, ramps, toll booths, traffic lights, power lines, communication cables, billboards, etc., and judge the vehicle's passability based on experience. Long-term measurement is likely to cause traffic congestion, and there is a great threat to the personal safety of measurement personnel. Laser ranging devices can be used for measurement to improve transportation efficiency and reduce safety hazards. Laser ranging devices are composed of a network array of ranging sensors. Optical lens contamination of ranging sensors is a common problem, which will cause the laser ranging device to fail.

[0003] However, large transport vehicles are often operated in the field, and the working environment is special and diverse. There will be dust in the environment. During the light source transmission / reception process, as long as these dust particles are scattered in the air, the optical lens will be easily contaminated. When the light is irradiated on the contaminated optical lens surface, it will affect the transmission and reflection of the optical lens. In addition, the light irradiated on the non-uniform medium will also cause scattering, which will cause the light path to deviate from the established trajectory, reduce the accuracy of laser ranging or even malfunction, which seriously limits the use environment and development prospects of laser ranging devices.

[0004] At the same time, the frame of the flatbed trailer of a large transport truck is made of high-strength alloy steel, which is difficult to process and difficult to drill holes for fastening with bolts. Using a single-sided magnetic connection will cause shear force during bumpy driving and cause sliding, resulting in serious errors in the derived distance measurement.

A protective device for distance measurement of a large transport vehicle according to claim 1, characterized in that: The dustproof housing (1) is provided with a top cover (13) and a bottom cover (14) at the upper and lower ends respectively, and a vertical partition (15) and a horizontal partition (16) are provided inside the dustproof housing (1); The horizontal partition (16) is arranged at the bottom of the dustproof housing (1) to separate the bottom of the dustproof housing (1) into a lens cavity (17), and the optical lens (2) is arranged horizontally in the lens cavity; The vertical partition (15) is arranged in the dustproof housing (1) above the lens cavity and separates the distance measuring device cavity and the driving control cavity; A distance measuring device is installed in the distance measuring device cavity, a driving device is installed in the driving control cavity, and the lens window hole (11) penetrates a horizontal partition (16) and a bottom cover (14) corresponding to the distance measuring device cavity, so that laser light emitted by the distance measuring device is emitted through the optical lens (2) and the lens window hole (11); The second motor (41) is installed in the drive control cavity, the output shaft of the second motor (41) passes through the horizontal partition (16) and is coaxially connected to the optical lens (2) through a keyway, and the dust removal brush (42) is fixedly installed in the lens cavity below the optical lens (2).

4. A protective device for distance measurement of a large transport vehicle according to claim 3, characterized in that: An LED light strip (141) is provided at the upper end of the bottom cover (14), and a photoresistor (21) is provided above the optical lens (2); when the LED light strip (141) emits light, the photoresistor (21) is used to detect the cleanliness of the optical lens (2).

5. A protective device for distance measurement of a large transport vehicle according to claim 1, characterized in that: The mounting seat (35) is in the shape of a circular plate, and a circular hole is provided in the middle of the circular plate corresponding to the light-transmitting hole (321), and a small gear mounting hole (351) is provided on the outer circumference of the circular plate. Four arc grooves (352) are correspondingly formed on the circular plate, and an insertion shaft is uprightly formed on each of the sliders (323). The insertion shaft is movably inserted into the corresponding arc groove (352). When the large gear (32) rotates, the insertion shaft moves in the corresponding arc groove (352), and at the same time, each slider (323) slides along the cross-shaped groove (322). One end of each slider corresponding to the light-transmitting hole (321) is a 45° tip. When the 45° tips of the four sliders are aligned, the circular hole and the light-transmitting hole (321) are covered.
